OD/ES: I told Tango to stay out of that fermented hay! Just what I need...a DUI horse. |

OD: I think that Tango worked the alley's on the eastside in the 40 & 50's. He never recovered from the Gar Wood dump trucks that took over ... |

ES: It could have been one of Tango's ancestors...I remember feeding apples to the horse pulling the "sheeny wagon" down the alley...whatever the hell that meant. It was a sad day on the eastside when they no longer used horses to deliver ice and milk...and to pick up alley trash...not sure when that was...after WWII...sometime in the late 40's. To tell the truth though...they were pretty sorry nags. |

ES: You more than anyone should know that addiction is a disease. It's not Tango's fault he's hooked on the fermented hay and hallucinates about being a show horse. |

OD/ES: Tango WAS a contender...two-year old stallion reserve champ...he constantly lets the others in the barn know that...they resent it and make him eat last. |

Tango's a lover...not a fighter...his stall/runout is in the middle so he spends his mornings teasing and taunting the other two from behind the rails...sort of like OD did to Tony N...Diego is alpha...second-in-command is Cinnamon the old mare...so when they are turned out into the yard after breakfast they chase him around until they all get bored with the game...basically having horses is like living in an equine kindergarten...or on Mapleridge. |

OD: Tango is a born leader!••• he read GB's dissertation and then ate it along with his alfalfa and COB..... Cinnamon runs the place and we all know why •••• So life across the board is the same ... and we should just surrender ... or maybe we have already ••• |

ES: I did! My advice is...give up...before they shoot us all for what you did! It's been my experience that a woman will shoot every guy in the room just to make sure she got the right one...its the old USMC philosophy...let God sort 'em out! |

GB: Tony N was a good guy, and I’ve never seen him get mad at anyone. But that doesn’t mean I would taunt him. If anyone ever did get him mad, I bet that anyone would never do it again. Right GB?.... I don’t recall the Mapleridge equine kindergarten, but I do remember a stable-like odor in the neighborhood from the time you parked your tricycle at Elvidge’s until you went home later in the day.
ES: Tango a leader? I thought GB just said he was a wimp. |

OD: The Tango leadership thing is a cover ... kinda like Cheney or Rove running the show and spinal cord Bush stumbling around as the cover....
BULLETIN: Looks like some of the CSI Investigators( 4 to be exact) WILL be in TC on 8/1 and will be discussing this years findings, addresses, photos and maybe even giving out the Father Bananahead Music Award.... Sally J and Sandy R's life size photos will be on display in the lobby.... NO Nehru jackets please!••• |

GB: I need time for my head to clear ... I'm a little nervous for you so I will contact Ms Smith regarding pre convention findings and information so that YOU will not have to leave the country or move in with 7&K once again.... The music award you do have locked up ... NO NO it is not OD playing the "tonette or flute-a-fone" ... Please •••• calm down because the CSI sisters have gone to great length with this years recording selection.... |

ES: All right...I'm trusting you on this one...probably my first mistake. Are you planning to attend the conference in TC or is this all by video-conferencing...in which case we need to get our IT go-to guy involved. |

OD: Naw...ES in shoes? I've heard him referred to as a crock...but never heard of him in shoes. I hear he's up for an Emmy on the washtub bass...probably singing "I left my Heart in San Francisco"...referring to HT. |

GB: actually they're the same shoes he was wearing when he left Michigan. Took them off when he reached San Fran so they're still as good as new. And very stylish if you're into the retro look. |

OD: Oh man...ES in black wingtips, calf high black socks and his plaid bermuda shorts...what a sight to behold! I'll bet he brings his light blue polyester leisure suit along on the trip. Well...at least he'll be easy to find in TC. |

GB: Too bad he missed the Cherry Festival. With that outfit and being from CA he could have donned his Turban and founded a new religion proselytizing the tourists. |

Jeez...Vet school? You mean that was VET school? All this time I thought I was studying human physiology with that Bronson Hosp. student nurse tutor. |

ES: I remember a city championship game at Briggs Stadium (before they renamed it Tiger Stadium). Instead of leading the Denby cheers SR sat sobbing on the sidelines before 20,000+ people for the whole game because HT just stole GB from her. |

WRONG!! Ed Hood and I were friends at Denby...he played centerfield for U-M...he's a big time att'y in A2...was on the city council...also represented #2 in the divorce action...p___k tried to get a piece of my pension...my att'y trumped him...so much for old friendships.
SR was sobbing because we'd had a minor tiff before the game...the make up afterwards was truly to remember...back to Scott Fountain. |
